eTextbooks in Pearson+ at your US campus store
Campus store support resources for eTextbooks, available in Pearson+
What’s Pearson+?
Pearson+ is your one-stop shop, with eTextbooks and study videos designed to help students get better grades in college.
eTextbook access codes are available on demand through campus stores via fulfillment partners, including RedShelf and VitalSource. An API call is used to generate an access code for each student purchase.
The access codes cannot be purchased in bulk or through OASIS.
An access code purchase provides the student access to one eTextbook and is $43.96 for 120 days.
eTextbooks will be available in Inclusive Access for campus stores that partner with Barnes & Noble, VitalSource and Follett.
Students will access the eTextbook in Pearson+ from the institution’s Learning Management System and will not be required to enter an access code.
No, an eTextbook subscription does not include access to MyLab, Mastering or Revel products. You’ll continue to purchase these as you currently do.
However, if students are using MyLab or Mastering with an integrated eTextbook, they will get access to the eTextbook via Pearson+ without having to do or pay anything extra.
Students have 14 days from the purchase date to exchange the eTextbook or return the code to the campus store. If the code is returned, the student will get a full refund.
Students can use financial aid or a credit card to purchase an access code at the campus store. If a student uses financial aid and wants to extend the subscription when the initial term ends, the student will use a credit card on pearsonplus.com.
The process follows the same registration path you currently use. Students will receive the fulfillment partner PIN or access code on the receipt or via email, follow those instructions and go to redeem.pearsonplus.com to redeem the code.
Students will have access to their eTextbook for 120 days from the day the access code is redeemed (not purchased).
Yes, a student can have more than one eTextbook subscription. A separate access code is required for each eTextbook.
The student will need to:
- Visit the Pearson+ My account page within the first 14 days of their subscription and select Cancel and refund next to the eTextbook.
- Purchase a new access code from the campus store using financial aid.
- Redeem the new access code on redeem.pearsonplus.com.
Students have 3 options:
- Students can simply let the subscription end.
- Students can purchase a new access code through their local campus store and start a new eTextbook subscription.
- Before the initial term ends, students can extend their subscription from their Pearson+ My account page.
The student can reach out to Pearson support through the Chat icon on www.pearsonplus.com. In the Help center, students can find answers to common questions.
Returns for access codes purchased in the campus store must be handled by the campus store.
